Green Hydrogen H2 News

The potential demand for low-carbon (green or blue) hydrogen from the worldwide refining industry might reach 50 million metric tons per year by 2050, according to Wood Mackenzie. In 2020, the oil refining industry will be one of the main markets for hydrogen, accounting for around 32 million tpy, or 30 to 35 percent of worldwide hydrogen consumption. Hydrotreating and hydrocracking are the most important refinery operations, requiring more than 90 percent of hydrogen in the refining business, and are used to remove sulfur from final products and enhance the yield of transport fuels, respectively. Nonetheless, more than 65 percent…
